<p><strong>Proxy</strong> об'єкт використовується для визначення власної поведінки для базових операцій (наприклад, доступ до властивостей, присвоєння, обрахунок, виклик функцій та ін.).</p>

<h2 id="Terminology">Terminology</h2>

<dl>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler">handler</a></dt>
 <dd>Placeholder object which contains traps.</dd>
 <dt>traps</dt>
 <dd>The methods that provide property access. This is analogous to the concept of traps in operating systems.</dd>
 <dt>target</dt>
 <dd>Object which the proxy virtualizes. It is often used as storage backend for the proxy. Invariants (semantics that remain unchanged) regarding object non-extensibility or non-configurable properties are verified against the target.</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Syntax">Syntax</h2>

<pre class="syntaxbox">var p = new Proxy(target, handler);
</pre>

<h3 id="Parameters">Parameters</h3>

<dl>
 <dt><code>target</code></dt>
 <dd>A target object (can be any sort of object, including a native array, a function or even another proxy) to wrap with <code>Proxy</code>.</dd>
 <dt><code>handler</code></dt>
 <dd>An object whose properties are functions which define the behavior of the proxy when an operation is performed on it.</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Methods">Methods</h2>

<dl>
 <dt>{{jsxref("Proxy.revocable()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Creates a revocable <code>Proxy</code> object.</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Methods_of_the_handler_object">Methods of the handler object</h2>

<p>The handler object is a placeholder object which contains traps for <code>Proxy</code>.</p>

<div>{{page('/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler', 'Methods') }}</div>

<h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2>

<h3 id="Basic_example">Basic example</h3>

<p>In this simple example the number <code>37</code> gets returned as the default value when the property name is not in the object. It is using the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler/get"><code>get</code></a> handler.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">var handler = {
    get: function(target, name) {
        return name in target ?
            target[name] :
            37;
    }
};

var p = new Proxy({}, handler);
p.a = 1;
p.b = undefined;

console.log(p.a, p.b); // 1, undefined
console.log('c' in p, p.c); // false, 37
</pre>

<h3 id="No-op_forwarding_proxy">No-op forwarding proxy</h3>

<p>In this example, we are using a native JavaScript object to which our proxy will forward all operations that are applied to it.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">var target = {};
var p = new Proxy(target, {});

p.a = 37; // operation forwarded to the target

console.log(target.a); // 37. The operation has been properly forwarded
</pre>

<h3 id="Validation">Validation</h3>

<p>With a <code>Proxy</code>, you can easily validate the passed value for an object. This example uses the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler/set"><code>set</code></a> handler.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">let validator = {
  set: function(obj, prop, value) {
    if (prop === 'age') {
      if (!Number.isInteger(value)) {
        throw new TypeError('The age is not an integer');
      }
      if (value &gt; 200) {
        throw new RangeError('The age seems invalid');
      }
    }

    // The default behavior to store the value
    obj[prop] = value;

    // Indicate success
    return true;
  }
};

let person = new Proxy({}, validator);

person.age = 100;
console.log(person.age); // 100
person.age = 'young'; // Throws an exception
person.age = 300; // Throws an exception</pre>

<h3 id="Extending_constructor">Extending constructor</h3>

<p>A function proxy could easily extend a constructor with a new constructor. This example uses the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler/construct"><code>construct</code></a> and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler/apply"><code>apply</code></a> handlers.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">function extend(sup, base) {
  var descriptor = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(
    base.prototype, 'constructor'
  );
  base.prototype = Object.create(sup.prototype);
  var handler = {
    construct: function(target, args) {
      var obj = Object.create(base.prototype);
      this.apply(target, obj, args);
      return obj;
    },
    apply: function(target, that, args) {
      sup.apply(that, args);
      base.apply(that, args);
    }
  };
  var proxy = new Proxy(base, handler);
  descriptor.value = proxy;
  Object.defineProperty(base.prototype, 'constructor', descriptor);
  return proxy;
}

var Person = function(name) {
  this.name = name;
};

var Boy = extend(Person, function(name, age) {
  this.age = age;
});

Boy.prototype.sex = 'M';

var Peter = new Boy('Peter', 13);
console.log(Peter.sex);  // "M"
console.log(Peter.name); // "Peter"
console.log(Peter.age);  // 13</pre>

<h3 id="Manipulating_DOM_nodes">Manipulating DOM nodes</h3>

<p>Sometimes you want to toggle the attribute or class name of two different elements. Here's how using the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy/handler/set"><code>set</code></a> handler.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">let view = new Proxy({
  selected: null
},
{
  set: function(obj, prop, newval) {
    let oldval = obj[prop];

    if (prop === 'selected') {
      if (oldval) {
        oldval.setAttribute('aria-selected', 'false');
      }
      if (newval) {
        newval.setAttribute('aria-selected', 'true');
      }
    }

    // The default behavior to store the value
    obj[prop] = newval;

    // Indicate success
    return true;
  }
});

let i1 = view.selected = document.getElementById('item-1');
console.log(i1.getAttribute('aria-selected')); // 'true'

let i2 = view.selected = document.getElementById('item-2');
console.log(i1.getAttribute('aria-selected')); // 'false'
console.log(i2.getAttribute('aria-selected')); // 'true'</pre>

<h3 id="Value_correction_and_an_extra_property">Value correction and an extra property</h3>

<p>The <code>products</code> proxy object evaluates the passed value and converts it to an array if needed. The object also supports an extra property called <code>latestBrowser</code> both as a getter and a setter.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">let products = new Proxy({
  browsers: ['Internet Explorer', 'Netscape']
},
{
  get: function(obj, prop) {
    // An extra property
    if (prop === 'latestBrowser') {
      return obj.browsers[obj.browsers.length - 1];
    }

    // The default behavior to return the value
    return obj[prop];
  },
  set: function(obj, prop, value) {
    // An extra property
    if (prop === 'latestBrowser') {
      obj.browsers.push(value);
      return true;
    }

    // Convert the value if it is not an array
    if (typeof value === 'string') {
      value = [value];
    }

    // The default behavior to store the value
    obj[prop] = value;

    // Indicate success
    return true;
  }
});

console.log(products.browsers); // ['Internet Explorer', 'Netscape']
products.browsers = 'Firefox'; // pass a string (by mistake)
console.log(products.browsers); // ['Firefox'] &lt;- no problem, the value is an array

products.latestBrowser = 'Chrome';
console.log(products.browsers); // ['Firefox', 'Chrome']
console.log(products.latestBrowser); // 'Chrome'</pre>

<h3 id="Finding_an_array_item_object_by_its_property">Finding an array item object by its property</h3>

<p>This proxy extends an array with some utility features. As you see, you can flexibly "define" properties without using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperties"><code>Object.defineProperties</code></a>. This example can be adapted to find a table row by its cell. In that case, the target will be <a href="/en-US/docs/DOM/table.rows"><code>table.rows</code></a>.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">let products = new Proxy([
  { name: 'Firefox', type: 'browser' },
  { name: 'SeaMonkey', type: 'browser' },
  { name: 'Thunderbird', type: 'mailer' }
],
{
  get: function(obj, prop) {
    // The default behavior to return the value; prop is usually an integer
    if (prop in obj) {
      return obj[prop];
    }

    // Get the number of products; an alias of products.length
    if (prop === 'number') {
      return obj.length;
    }

    let result, types = {};

    for (let product of obj) {
      if (product.name === prop) {
        result = product;
      }
      if (types[product.type]) {
        types[product.type].push(product);
      } else {
        types[product.type] = [product];
      }
    }

    // Get a product by name
    if (result) {
      return result;
    }

    // Get products by type
    if (prop in types) {
      return types[prop];
    }

    // Get product types
    if (prop === 'types') {
      return Object.keys(types);
    }

    return undefined;
  }
});

console.log(products[0]); // { name: 'Firefox', type: 'browser' }
console.log(products['Firefox']); // { name: 'Firefox', type: 'browser' }
console.log(products['Chrome']); // undefined
console.log(products.browser); // [{ name: 'Firefox', type: 'browser' }, { name: 'SeaMonkey', type: 'browser' }]
console.log(products.types); // ['browser', 'mailer']
console.log(products.number); // 3
</pre>

<h3 id="A_complete_traps_list_example">A complete <code>traps</code> list example</h3>

<p>Now in order to create a complete sample <code>traps</code> list, for didactic purposes, we will try to proxify a <em>non native</em> object that is particularly suited to this type of operation: the <code>docCookies</code> global object created by <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie/Simple_document.cookie_framework" title="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/document.cookie#A_little_framework.3A_a_complete_cookies_reader.2Fwriter_with_full_unicode_support">the "little framework" published on the <code>document.cookie</code> page</a>.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">/*
  var docCookies = ... get the "docCookies" object here:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/document.cookie#A_little_framework.3A_a_complete_cookies_reader.2Fwriter_with_full_unicode_support
*/

var docCookies = new Proxy(docCookies, {
  get: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    return oTarget[sKey] || oTarget.getItem(sKey) || undefined;
  },
  set: function (oTarget, sKey, vValue) {
    if (sKey in oTarget) { return false; }
    return oTarget.setItem(sKey, vValue);
  },
  deleteProperty: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    if (sKey in oTarget) { return false; }
    return oTarget.removeItem(sKey);
  },
  enumerate: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    return oTarget.keys();
  },
  ownKeys: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    return oTarget.keys();
  },
  has: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    return sKey in oTarget || oTarget.hasItem(sKey);
  },
  defineProperty: function (oTarget, sKey, oDesc) {
    if (oDesc &amp;&amp; 'value' in oDesc) { oTarget.setItem(sKey, oDesc.value); }
    return oTarget;

  getOwnPropertyDescriptor: function (oTarget, sKey) {
    var vValue = oTarget.getItem(sKey);
    return vValue ? {
      value: vValue,
      writable: true,
      enumerable: true,
      configurable: false
    } : undefined;
  },
});

/* Cookies test */

console.log(docCookies.my_cookie1 = 'First value');
console.log(docCookies.getItem('my_cookie1'));

docCookies.setItem('my_cookie1', 'Changed value');
console.log(docCookies.my_cookie1);</pre>
